[Verse 1] An Zen is pure, sip tea, taste the cake Quiet yet so busy, every breath you take In the steam that rises, wisdom starts to wake Simple in appearance, deeper than a lake [Chorus] The reason is the same, the reason is harmonious Calm within the flame, silent yet victorious In each tiny moment, nothing is extraneous Heart and world the same, tender and spontaneous [Verse 2] Recognize your heart, enter your own way Seeing your true nature in the light of day Thoughts like clouds are passing, softly drift away Nothing to be clinging, nothing you must say [Chorus] There is no thought here, peaceful and awake There is no action, just the steps you take There is no word to hold, silence in its place There is no cultivation, only boundless space [Bridge] Buddha is awakening, clear and shining bright Dharma is the seeing of what is truly right Sangha is the purity walking in the light Turn to them devoted, practice in your sight [Chorus] Buddha is Enlightenment, radiant and clear Dharma is Right Understanding, cutting through the fear Sangha lives in Purity, holding what is dear Act upon it faithfully, bring your whole self here [Outro] An Zen is pure, drink tea, share the cake Quiet and so busy, every step you take Reason flowing gently, harmony awake Heart at home in stillness, nothing left to make
